    This article describes President Trumps ban on immigration. It describes that President Trump put a temporary ban on seven Muslim countries. Not only are Muslims not allowed to enter the U.S. but U.S. citizens are not allowed to re-enter the United states from those 7 Muslim countries.

    I posted a similar article that went into depth about a certain airport. I can't believe that it also banned U.S. citizens from re-entering as well. It really is mind blowing.

    This article is another one about the Immigration issue we are facing. Since he put this temporary ban, there are people who are here legally in this country trying to travel, but then get detained at the airport just because of where they are coming from. This is not okay. I find this infuriating.

    This whole scenario is mind-blowing and shows what kind of person he is. How can he sit there and deny U.S CITIZENS re-entry to their country?! Makes me sick how intolerant some people still are. I think about the world my daughters will have to grow up in and it scares me.

    Not trying to be rude or anything but Trump is obviously not try to have people actually like him as the new president. To ban people who have green cards from re-enrtering the U.S is very wrong.

    Americans' assessments of their personal freedom have significantly declined under President Obama, according to a new study from the Legatum Institute in London, and the United States now ranks below 20 other countries on this measure. The research shows that citizens of countries including France, Uruguay, and Costa Rica now feel that they enjoy more personal freedom than Americans.

    This article briefly talks about paid maternity leave. The U.S. is the only country that does not have a national paid leave mandate. This article is centered on the way mandated paid maternity leave is handled in other countries in the world. The range is from 2 months to 1.5 years of paid leave.

    Do you agree with not having paid maternity leave? I think it would be nice to be paid while you are away, but at the same time, you're not working so why should you be getting paid while others are working in that meantime?

The author details what some specific companies paid (or gained) and how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) as well as the CARES Act expanded tax breaks for these companies.

    Hunger and food insecurity has been a huge problem throughout the years here in the U.S. Ongoing investigations have been going on throughout the years, resulting in the "food stamp program" or the "national school lunch program". Programs like these are only a start in ending hunger and food insecurity here in the U.S.

    Hunger and the food industry is a problem America has been facing for a while. I'm blessed we have emergency food programs that support the Americans who don't have enough money to buy or make food to support their families and themselves.

    According to a recent study by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals found that if Congress passes the comprehensive immigration reform bill, the U.S. economy and housing market could receive a major boost. Also, the group estimates that the reform bill will allow about 3 million buyers out of the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the country. According to the national median sales price, the 3 million buyers could afford to purchase a home worth $173,600.

    A touchy subject but one that has been increasingly more important in the United States, should illegal immigrants be able to vote? The research shows that that their votes play a major role in poles. I think that it's important for people to vote and have a say, but should everyone who comes into the U.S. be allowed to have such a say if not a citizen? Would Americans have that same right in their home country?

    I am an immigrant myself, i migrated here legally, i pay my taxes, receive no tax breaks even while i make little money, i do not have the ability to vote, and i have done the process through and through, without breaking the law. So i ask, why if i can't vote, should someone who has dodged taxes, came here illegally, and broken the laws of this generous country, have the ability to vote where i cannot?

    This is something that is really hitting the US right now. Trump has issued the ban on immigration, and this isn't right. There are so many people that are standing up to that.

    This web site shows the negative impact on building a border wall with Mexico. It shows the numbers of US workers and Mexican workers affected by this decision. It shows how much capitol could be lost each day once the wall is built.
  • dennibro on 30 Jan 17
     
    Great find! I think that there is no real thought being put into the whole wall situation. Both the U.S. and Mexico have benefited from the ability to import and export goods providing jobs for both sides. The relationship that our current president is establishing will definitely impact our economy in a negative way.
  • Darren Duemmel on 30 Jan 17
     
    Excellent article! I agree with dennibro about the thought process behind it. First they were going to pay for it, now we are. Then the whole subject of who was going to be paying for this wall started to be backtracked. I think not only is it going to cost an astronomical amount of money to build, it will also cost us a lot to maintain it. I think a better idea is needed.
